Topic starter

I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla le181442 miles. Was my brothers car. I'm a door dasher. Other than changing the oil every 3000 miles which I do with Castrol high mileage and I just switched to kn filter. I need to bleed the brakes and coolant and I'm caught up. I have a thumping on my right passenger side when I brake. Could be a frozen brake shoe or drum.its been happening since my brother was driving it. Any help would be much appreciated.

That thing is 20 years old - in addition to checking the brakes be sure to check your suspension for worn bushings and other worn parts.

put it in the trash where it belongs. You're not racing.

You're not going to find the solution on the internet. You don't want guesses based only on a "thumping" sound .

You need to find it with your hands and eyeballs.
